If you’re looking for brilliant organizational tips that will keep your home tidy, we’ve got a few of our favorites to share with you. And, yes, these are simple, realistic hacks that you can do without breaking a sweat or breaking the bank.

Read on to learn 19 of the easiest tricks for keeping your home organized:

YOUR BATHROOM

1. Shower Products

If you’re anything like us, you’ve got a few steps you like to take in the shower — and that means your limited shower shelf space is probably packed with products. Try utilizing verticle space with an extra shower rod and some clips to hang things like face wash, soap holders, and loofas.

5. Pots and Pans

If you’re struggling to find a place to store your pots and pans (or maybe you just hate stacking your pans in a cabinet), look to your walls! An empty stretch of wall space if begging for you to put up some pegboard, which is a stylish and easy way to hang pots, pans, and other kitchen utensils.

6. Refrigerator Condiments

Looking inside your fridge in a panic? We know that our refrigerator shelves are often a source of anxiety, which is why we love this quick, free hack! An empty egg carton can easily be transformed into a way to keep your shelves organized and mess-free.

7. Cooking Spices

Cabinets need space for, well, your food. So why is so much space taken up by dozens of spices?! We love this easy organization hack which uses some plastic inserts and an empty drawer to create an organized spice oasis.

YOUR BEDROOM

8. Bureau Drawers

Everyone imagines a world in which they open up their bureau drawers and see rows of easy-to-see, maybe even color-coordinated clothes. That might not be a reality now (it’s certainly not for us…) but all it takes is a new folding technique to make this dream come true!

9. Jewelry

Necklaces, bracelets, and dangling earrings, oh my. When jewelry gets messy, it’s not just annoying to look at, it could ruin your favorite accessories. You don’t need an expensive organizer to keep everything untangled and looking sharp — just take a new hanger out of your closet and hang it on your bedroom wall.

10. Shoes

Limited closet space getting you down? Not just for clothing but for your amazing shoe collection? Using under-the-bed is the best possible way to keep your shoes organized, safe, and easy to access.
